Nadril Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 When I was into Nightwish, the only album I really liked was the debut. Very classically-inspired. The rest blew. As do all of the power metal bands I used to listen to. I don't mind some power metal if you just want something cheesy and kinda fun to listen to. Although some are just terrible.

(I'm pretty impressed with Somewhere in Time) I think Helloween and Blind Guardian are pretty fun to listen to. Although, then again, both of them really have some solid older material. I also do enjoy Blind Guardians later (power metal) albums unlike some it seems. :P Stuff like Hammerfall though... man, that [cabbage] is too cheesy.

Jernlov Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I used to really dig later Blind Guardian (Imaginations onward) but now I struggle with it. You're right about Helloween; "Walls of Jericho" is an excellent album, along with the first "Keeper of the Seven Keys". Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, some Children of Bodom (anything after the first two albums when they stopped the melodeath sound), Nightwish, Gamma Ray, Kamelot... it's just too cheesy. I would say Blind Guardian have died a little bit. It's still in them, but "A Twist in the Myth" was a bit of a letdown in my opinion. Helloween died awhile back with "Pink Rabbits Go Ape"... and they're not back on form yet either. I also agree with Adio on At the Gates. That's got to be one of the biggest falls from grace ever.

re4p3r1 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 cant believe there hasnt been a mention of blink 182. they were just about everyones favorite band then they mysteriously broke up :cry: you could even say they died when they became mainstream they started becoming more pop rock and pop punk but when they first started they were more indie and punk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinPete112 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Pantera: They broke up Dragonforce: Can anyone say, GH3? Of course the only song 90% of them can name is TTFAF. I like their older stuff like "Cry for Eternity" and "Valley of the Damned<3" Green Day: Their new stuff is a disgrace to music. But St. Jimmy and others still rock Sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their older stuff like "Cry for Eternity" and "Valley of the Damned<3" How can a band die if every song sounds the same anyways? So what if the only song a person can name is TTFAF, it sounds the same as the rest of them so it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdioLovesSquall Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I also agree with Adio on At the Gates. That's got to be one of the biggest falls from grace ever. TRISTO and the sophomore album are rly awesome, its a shame SOTS sounds like iron maiden on steroids. On the power metal issue, I really dig early 80s power metal; stuff like Manilla Road, Fates Warning, Legend and some others. They really drop the flower in flower metal.

doomy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Disturbed used to be good. "The Sickness" has to be one of the best debut albums i've ever seen. "Believe" was amazing. I don't know which song was better, "Prayer" or "Liberate". They released "Ten Thousand Fists" next. A decent album with songs such as "Just Stop" and "Guarded". Then it happened. Disturbed was featured in Guitar Hero 3. This single-handedly killed them. They lost all their true fans (Like myself) and gained all fans who only liked them becuase they heard them on Guitar Hero, "Stricken" (the song featured on Guitar Hero) was the only song these wannabees knew. So I leave you with this: R.I.P. Disturbed 2000-2007 They got more fans so now they're dead? Just because people hadn't heard them before they were on Guitar Hero doesn't mean they arn't true fans. Many of my favourite bands are from games I've played, and that doesn't mean I'm not a "true fan" And if you mean Disturbed released worse music I'd dissagree as well, Inside the Fire is my favourite Disturbed song.

Poopingman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Disturbed isn't dead...Dragonforce is at the height of their careers, how can you say that? There seems to be some miscommunication on what "dead" is pertaining to here. We are looking for bands that have mysteriously broken up or fallen off the face of the musical planet; not bands that are dead to you because you don't like them anymore. I'm sorry but some of you kids are idiots. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jernlov Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 You've gotta admit that In Flames' new musical direction has killed them off; they've always been boring but this is just.. fngh. Neutral Milk Hotel. Where the hell did they go? There was never any formal breakup or anything, but they've disappeared. I liked their folk-rock sound very much.

Cyco_Reborn Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Lawnmower Deth... Whyd they have to split up waaaaa :cry: why couldnt it be Nickelback instead. Decapitated... Since their amazing drummer died and the guitarists in a coma still I think. And as somebody has said Mayhem... when Dead killed himself and Vikernes killed Euronymous.

redhaloguy Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Really The guitar hero thing is kinda true. I don't think it means not liking the band because "Uncool people" Like it. That's like saying "well I did like (Insert Favorite thing) till all the losers started liking it." It's because you can't admit you like the same things as them. Anyone who gets there playlist, or says there favorite song is (Some song from gh3) after it came out. I hate there guts OT: G&R's dead? No idea on that but I've heard nothing from them If you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Disturbed note, I just got into them and I really enjoy both Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible, which is a great album. The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132.
